FAVOR or PROHIBITION.
Monday. April 4, being town meeting
large crowd gathered in the village as
soon as the polls were opened. Voting
was not very brisk in the forenoon and
it was thought by some that only a
small vote would be cast but after dim
ner turned the tide of affairs and it
seemed by the number wanting to vote
that five o'clock would not see the polls
closed. The board worked hard until
about four O'clock when everything
was quiet again. The building lately
occupied by Doty q Keeler was used as
polling place and was plenty large
enough to accommodate the voters and
shelter them from the storm which
was raging outside. There were three
township tickets in the iield-Demo-
cratic, Republican and Independent.
The republican ticket was elected with
but one exception, VIM. IIodgins be-
ing elected treasurer j. &. MCKenna
defeated. The state tickets were Pro-
hibition, Republican, Democratic, La
Dor Union and Greenback. The amend
ments to be voted on were III regard to
prohibition and the salaries of the state
officers. Here is the vote on the amend
ment to the constitution relative to
Prohibition of the manufacture, gift or
sale of spirituouS, malt. or vinuouS Ii
quors and the right of property there

Interesting School Erercises.-An
intelligent correspondent sends the
JOURNAL the following account of a
very pleasant affair
Last Friday evening, in spite of the inclem-
ent weather, q large and appreciative audience
assembled at the Grahamton school-so large
that standing room commanded prem ium-
to witness the entertainment given by the
pupils of that school.
The exercises consisted of recitations, dia-
logues, vocal and instrumental music, which
were rendered in good form. Coming from
children so young, they were duly appreca.
ted by the audience, as attested by rounds of
applause.
Mr.. Browning, the efficient principal, deliiv-
cred telling address upon Education, show
ing the great advantages to be derived from
extensive requirements of textual knowledge
and how much good school depends upon
both parents and teachers. He concluded by
thanking the parents and trustees Of the
school for the hearty and effective co-opera-
ton they had given him during the four
years he had cond Icted the school, and as
sured them that he fully appreciated all their
efforts, and that he should look back upon
the days spent in teaching the Grahamton
school with many delightful recollections.
He and his competent assistant, Miss Mary
]. Thomas, were presented with handsome
boquets by the school.
]. B. Reese sang 'Handwriting on the
WALL" and 'Slip Across the Line to q de-
lighted audience.
John Thomas presided at the organ.
The affair was a pleasant one-one never to
be forgotten by the people of Grahamton.

rises with more than its accustomed
solemnity to express the fear that this
official boycot comprises intellectual
labor culture as it is intellectcd and
Quilted with 50 much labor in our midst.
1t looks much like war of extinction
against the pretenders which, when
complete, will leave not enough of the
so-called labor press to wriggle the
rear hoof of the WrIman's mule leg at.

effort to convict Bill Williams will
breed deeper disgust for the apparent
rottenness of the jury system--in this

THE Interstate commerce COM
missioners were much put about to
secure a competent secretary. They
wanted a man thoroughly acquainted
with every department of railroad
business, of extensive experience as a
statesman, of unbending honesty, who
knows all there is to be known of gen.
eral law and especially railroad law.
They required an accomplished statis-
tician and bookkeeper, as well as a
skilled writer of official letters. 1t is
easy to see that man of so many
attainments was hard to reach, but if
the salary had been fixed by law at
twenty thousand instead of three
thousand a year, almost any editor in
Allegany county could have been
induced to shoulder the commissioners
penmanship.

A Typical Jury.-The Philadelphi

Record tells a good one as follows:
In will case before court and rustic jury
jeremiah S. Black appeared as counsel for
the youngest Of three sisters, and sought to
break the will on the ground that the two
elder sisters had, with the assistance of his
learned brother the counsel on the other side
cajoled and coerced the dead father during his
dying hours into signing will giving them
all his property and leaving the youngest
daughter out in the cold. Black, who was
young then, made great speech to the jury
in which "King Lear" very naturally appear
ed.
'Goneril was at that bedside, gentleme n of
the jury" he exclaimed. "Regan was there.
But where was Cordelia ?''
The jury remained out for some time. At
last they came in. but the foreman reported
that they could not agree. All of them ex-
cept one nan were in favor of the youngest
sister, but the one man was not satisfied, and
could not be satisfied with what he thought
flaw in the evidence.
what is it ?" asked the court of the obsti-
nate juror.
"Why, your honor" said the fellow, "if Mr.
Goncril and Mr.. Regan were present, as that
lawyer said, why didn't he put them in the
witness box ?"

OUR friend, R. T. Semmes, again
tore down wiser than he knew.

IT has been question when William
Williams case would reach trial.
In the first feint he was placed in
the dock, but the people of Frostburg
were convicted.
In the next he reconsidered his plea
of mot guilty" and withdrew it long
enough to permit Judge Hoffman to
stand trial.
This over, the remaining round be.
tween him and the people of Frostburg
resulted in draw.
But we are in better shape than we
were that is, the community is not as
guilty as it was the other time.
We have good reason to hope, from
the progress made, that in time we will
get off entirely.
Maybe during the next century our
posterity will be able by untiring effort
and the strictest attention to business
to squeeze one of the Williams grand
children into the House of Correction
In any other county than Allegany
it would not have taken a jury ten
minutes to find Bill Williams guilty.
LET the public await the developments in
this case, and then mete out justice to those
entitled to it.-Cumberland Times.
This about the anticipated exculpa-
ton of young Pearre from the charge
of assault. of which he stands convict
ed, as a result of the Kirkland divorce
suits in Baltimore.
The JOURNAL subaerlbes heartily to
the Times injunction.
1t has gone farther; it has plead for
the same consideration in behalf of a
community of people known to be
innocent.
Moreover, it has not been silent
when William Williams, having been
tried, the community was found guilty.
Otherwise, over this catastrophe nc
maudlin tears were shed, nor grief
coined into social sonnets by the press
of this county.

The Trade.-The toll rates on coal

and 30 cents and 4 cents wharfage for
all coal destined to the coast.
A Philadelphia dispatch to the. Bal
timore Sun says ''an improvement is
noted in the bituminous coal trade.
The shippers in the Eastern Seaboard
Bituminous Association have issued a
circular notifying consumers that the
present prices for standard Goals will
be declared "off' on May !, when an
advance is probable.
SdnitdtiOn.-Rev. II. S. France
made pertinent reference to this vital
subject in an eloquent sermon Sunday
evening, and Wednesday the intelli-
gent Frostburg correspondent of the
Cumberland Times wrote that paper:
1t is gratifying to note that the town author
tiles here are engaged in cleaning up the
streets. 1t is to be hoped that the work of
purifying will not be permitted to stop here,
but pushed forward until our mountain city
has been placed upon a thoroughly trust,
worthy sanitary basis.
1t is a mistake to suppose (as seems to have
been occasionally the case) that our naturally
favorable location, unequaled climate and
heighl of 1,s00 feet above the sea, will OF
themselves save us from all the ills that flesh
is heir to-
